We report the first case of angiosarcoma in the kidney occurring in a woman; the tumor was initially believed to be renal cell carcinoma. This malignant tumor was discovered in a patient with macrohematuria. The final diagnosis was confirmed by histologic and immunohistochemical findings. A review of the literature on this tumor is also included in the discussion.
